Overview
The first and last work produced by "Tori Pro" which was launched by Jinzo Toriumi, who left Tatsunoko Productions. It was planned and produced by Satoshi Suyama and Akiyoshi Sakai who left the company at the same time. It is a robot anime that depicts the story of the main characters who are active in. The universe. Mitsuko Horie, a singer who has sung many anime songs, was the first voice actor in the anime, and Satoshi Shimada, who had already debuted as a Dubbed Voice Actor in Western movies, was also the first voice over in the anime.
Sometimes it is said that "The stage is set on a star other than Earth" (however, there are multiple episodes set on the earth), and the fashion of the characters is based on the Western European style of the Middle Ages, but mixed gender design. (Prince Liger's costume has a hem that extends app the way down like a woman's skirt), and it a different ethnic feel from earth. There are also settings that have not been seen in robot Animation so far, such as the "belt sword" taken out from the buckle of the belt and the original stone statue of Daikengo itself
Because it was a local series frame at key stations, Asahi Broadcasting Corporation in the weekday early morning ("current is Good Morning Asahi while broadcast") frame, Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting on Friday at 5:00 pm preceding broadcast in 30 frame is performed the broadcast time zone of this work was different for each region.

Mechanism
Daikengo
The legendary guardian deity that has been passed down to the Emperius star for generations. Resurrected by receiving the energy of the genie star.
The giant fighter Combat Ship (one crew member), the buggy-type giant machine Daiken Buggy (one crew member), and the giant tank Daiken Caterpillar (two crew members) combine to form the giant robot Daiken Go. Normally, it transforms into a mobile base / Daiken base and runs around the universe. Use the call "Kengo Separator" to separate into each machine, "Daiken Base Arranger" to combine into the base form, and "Space Genie Daikengo" to combine into the Genie form.
The total length is 120.0m and the weight is 800t. The power source is photon energy. A single warp is also possible.
When the armor of the face splits in two, it has a mouth with fangs like Hannya, and it spits fire from there (Daiken Fire).
Weapons
• Daiken Fire Flamethrower emitted from the mouth. From there, take a pattern that leads to a special move. Similar flame radiation is possible from the upper part of the booster on the back.
• xDAIKEN Space Torpedo A shark- shaped torpedo fired from a triangular launch port that appears with both belly bellies stored. After the second episode, it becomes an ordinary missile and is sometimes called a Daiken missile.
• Daiken Chak Wing end Pitot tubular part The left and right pair are electromagnetically coupled to form a nunchaku- shaped weapon.
• Daiken Cutter It pops out from the tip of the toe and cuts through the enemy's beast bone mecha.
• Arrow Fencer A slender sword that is stored in the legs and taken out from the kneecap. Equipped with two, it basically fights with two swords. His special moves are the " Rotating Large Sword " that connects at the rear end of the handle and rotates it to chop it, and the " Special Cross Sword " that cuts the opponent into crosses using the dual wield style . The cross sword is used overwhelmingly more frequently. When taking it out, take a unique stance of crossing the two on the head.
• Daiken Shield Defensive armament. Remove the pentagonal shoulder shield and connect it at the rear end to use it as a handheld hexagonal shield. It may be thrown and attacked like Frisbee (Daiken Guard Run).
• Daiken Punch A so-called "rocket punch" that shoots from the elbow.
Beast Bone mecha
The main weapon of the Magellan Empire. As the name implies, it is a robot that imitates the bones of a beast . Prior to the advent of Daikengo, beast bone mecha was a threat to the Galactic Federation.
The animal bone mecha basically uses vertebrates such as dinosaurs as motifs, but there are also those with arthropods such as Kotsupider and Ganilla as motifs. In addition, there are mass-produced aircraft, and many fighters in the shape of fish bones have appeared.
Part of the magazine [ main literature specific detailed information ] in the " bone beast mechanism is listed as" but, properly " Shishikotsu mechanism is."
Others
Sarah Blader A horse-shaped machine on which Bryman is boarding. Mainly armed with two laser cannons on the forefoot. Empel command A large battle mother ship owned by Emperius.

Product Development
Z Build Plan Daikengo, which is a set of combat ship, Daiken buggy, and Daiken caterpillar, is sold separately from Takatoku in the Z alloy series. In addition, "Daikengo Combat Action" that can be transformed into a Daiken base and a standard alloy of Daikengo and Sarabredder have been released.
At the time of broadcasting, Takatoku's Z Build Plan Daikengo advertisement published in the Asahi Shimbun was a catch phrase of Amazing Build Plan, and while the three machines before transformation can be played alone, Daiken can be connected vertically. It appeals to Go that it can be combined with the Daiken base by connecting it horizontally.
